A Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has called on
the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against
President Muhammadu Buhari over the wording of his recent vacation
letter to the National Assembly.
In a statement issued in Lagos, Mr. Adegboruwa said the decision by
the president to ask Mr. Osinbajo to ‘coordinate’ the government in his
absence would leave Mr. Osinbajo with virtually no powers to run the
country.
“A coordinator is a Person of equal status with others, so the VP
cannot make appointments or sack anybody while the President is away,”
said Mr. Adegboruwa.
“He cannot discipline any erring minister. He is limited in policy
decisions, as a coordinator. He has no power of control over the Cabal
to whom the president has handed over power, albeit illegally. The chief
of staff was recently reported to have moved vital documents away from
Aso Villa.
“In effect, Nigeria has no leader presently. The existing office of
VP is no more. The constitutionally created office of Acting President
has been circumscribed by the President. The President is away on an
indefinite medical trip abroad.”
Mr. Buhari left the country on Sunday night for a medical treatment
in the UK, and in his letter to the Senate notifying the lawmakers of
his absence, the president said Mr. Osinbajo would “coordinate” the nation’s affairs while he is abroad.
The choice of words employed by Mr. Buhari in his latest letter elicited controversy among Nigerians.
Mr. Adegboruwa said the Senate lacks the power to pronounce Mr.
Osinbajo as Acting President, without a written resolution of both
chambers of the National Assembly, through a decision taken on their
floors.
